Maybe There's Another Way To Sing This Song by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

The other day Blooby asked a question about one of my songs which i answered as best i could. However that question inspired this song, tho the song doesn't necessarily answer the question. Well maybe it does but in an abstract way.

Anyway.
It is what it is.

 

The words come out all wrong
As I try to write them down
But not until I sing
They just won't mean a thing
So i empty out my head
Clear my mind of all it's thoughts
Just let whatever comes out, out
Then I hear my inner voice
Maybe there's another way to sing this song
But I've already started so I'll just keep on going
Expressing my emotions exhibiting my soul
Showing you my feelings telling you it all
So you might understand me  where I'm coming from
I'm just going with the flow
It is out of my control
I will go where ere it goes
Well I don't know where I'm going
The words come out all wrong
As I try to write them down
But not until I sing
They just won't mean a thing
Maybe there's another way to sing this song
But I've already started so I'll just keep on going
Expressing my emotions exhibiting my soul
Showing you my feelings telling you it all
So you might understand me see where I'm coming from

Maybe There's another way To Sing This Song

No.  I think this is exactly the way to do it.  Because it works beautifully for you. 

Great song.

[Zoltan]

Beautiful and atmospheric. Musically constantly evolving and lyrically captivating.

Sounds like a pop hit already. I really enjoyed this one!

Yes, just let it flow. Say it as you mean it. Great guidance for songwriting.
Good lyrics and performance.

This song is great advice! Many times I find I stick with the lyrics that first come to me when I'm think of how the melody should go. The "placeholder" words become something that sort of inform the rest of the words. If I think too much on too many lines it starts to feel like it's being pasted on the song without much cohesion with the music. "Let them fall where ere they fall!

Nice guitar work on this song as well, I really like the guitar parts and sound you've been getting recently!

[Blooby]

I like how it starts a bit amorphous and comes more into focus as it goes. Love that floaty pads that give it some atmosphere between sinister and hope.

Very cool.
